Trắc Địa Đại Cương Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure...it seemed too much like the author trying to replicate the voice of a teenager, like she was relying on too many pop culture references and attempting to create a language that was like a teen talking. But I kept reading and the story took hold and the author found her voice and the characters she ended up writing ended up feeling more real than many of the other books I've read. It ended up reminding me more of Blake Nelson. The story is of a girl lost in trying to find her own identity, unsure of all the people around her and even more unsure of herself. There's tragedy and where I was afraid it would just be a catalyst for the book's tagline "what five ways would you tempt fate?" it ended up being more of a study of life, death, fate, choices and the fear of all of those things. In the end I thought this book was insightful without being heavy handed with "answers", sad without being Lauralee Daniels, and true to how teens strive to find who they are in context (and because) of everyone around them.

301 Câu Đàm Thoại Tiếng Trung Quốc - Tập 1 (Kèm CD) - Tái Bản 2014 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I was expecting something a little more general and readable. His prose is fine, it's that he sometimes focuses for way too long on bone dry statistics about power ratings of various kinds of generators, operating temperatures, etc. I just got tired of reading it... Until I'm an engineer, I don't need to know all the exact figures, it bogs down his main points. That being said, the author does a good job of laying out the many obstacles to a hydrogen economy.

Tiếng Anh Trong Giao Dịch Thương Mại - Spoken Business English (Dùng Kèm Đĩa CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thanh Huyền

Quick Read. These people have really hit the nail on the head in their understanding of coming of age in a rural community. Excellent research. It confirms what we all know through experience, about the socio-economic and cultural issues of small communities whether in the Midwest of their study or the Northeast. it is right on in describing the social layers in rural high schools and the expectations of those in each segment. Anyone who grew up in a rural area will recognize what they have documented.

Đơn Giản Hơn Ta Nghĩ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

A young Jewish Russian emigre in 1920's Berlin takes on an assistant role to a self-declared gentile Russian nobleman turned cabaret owner. Scheming in any way he can, the cabaret owner hears of a woman in a mental institution who resembles one or more of the presumed-dead Romanov daughters. With his assistant relucantly in tow, to protect her chances of remaining "invisibly" Jewish in an increasingly intolerant society, our nobleman sets about training the patient, under a faux name, to become Anastasia. The thing is that she already THINKS she is. Is she? You'll be surprised to find out... An impossibly good and suspenseful read that I highliy recommend to any lover of history and suspense.

Nhà Khổ Hạnh & Gã Lang Thang Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hermann Hesse

To me, this book exemplifies Shannon Hale's strength: masterfully reworking traditional fairy tales. I liked the "flavor" of the story because it is set in Asia and lacks most of the stereotypical prince-and-princess elements in most European fairy tales. I'm always looking for good books containing strong, grounded female characters for my teenage daughter to read, and this definitely fills that need and then some!

Món Ăn Bài Thuốc - Trái Cây Chữa Bệnh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

In case you don't know about this book yet (though, honestly, how could you not know about this book yet?), it is an absolutely amazing memoir by an Iranian woman who was a professor of English & Persian Literature at teh University of Tehran before, during, and after the revolution and war with Iraq. Once wearing the veil became mandatory and she refused to wear one, she was forced to quit teaching, and one way she came up with to fill her time was to gather several of her most dedicated students for a once-weekly literature class. In it, they discussed books like The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice, Lolita (duh), etc, etc. This book is triple-layered. The first layer is Azar Nafisi's memoir of the tumultuous times she lived in in Tehran, which she watched go from one of the most progressive, intellectual cities in the world to one of the most restrictive and repressive. You can see many of her friends and relatives, and the different ways people dealt with everything -- from withdrawing completely from society to picking sides and becoming more vocal and fervant about religion, politics, nationalism, etc. The second layer is Nafisi's memoirs of being a professor of literature in such times, including one astonishing episode where her class actually puts The Great Gatsby on trial to determine whether it is decadent, Western poison... or a work of high art. Not to mention the memories of the women in her literature class, how they coped with the readings, one another, and ther lives in Iran. The third layer, which for me catapults this book into a work of absolute genius, is Nafisi's theories on and explications of the books themselves, including how they relate to the struggles and culture of both of the above layers. Nafisi has brilliant theories about literature, and such a clear, inviting writing voice, in addition to giving us a much-needed internal perspective a country and culture that we (Americans) are essentially taught to loathe, makes this one of the most incredible books I've ever read. Three times.
